Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker admitted his side missed absent manager Harry Redknapp during their goalless draw at Liverpool last night.

Redknapp failed to make the trip to the north-west after spending the day at London's Southwark Crown Court, where he has been for the last few days contesting two charges of cheating the public revenue.

Without their manager Spurs relied on a man-of-the-match performance from Parker as they held the Reds to a seventh draw in their past nine home league games.
